The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

His words were sonorous and powerful, full of justice and fairness, and did not contain any intention to protect his own third son.

This butler's speech was indeed of high standard, and he knew the right measure, so that no matter whether he said good or bad things, he could say them without missing a single word.

In this way, regardless of whether the flower-picking thief incident is related to the Wen family, the Wen family has an excuse to cleverly stay out of it and distance themselves from the flower-picking thief incident.

Lan Wangshu stood aside and listened to all this, and couldn't help but be amazed.

I thought to myself that these aristocratic families are really good at flattering themselves as the rumors say! The title of hypocrite is really worthy of the name, and it is no exaggeration.

If someone else were in this situation, they would probably be moved by the words of the Wen family steward and even cry.

However, Lan Wangshu's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew very well that she was just an outsider who was watching the fun and making trouble.

So, she sneered secretly in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that was extremely difficult for others to notice.

As for whether this incident can allow the Wen family to successfully withdraw from this storm, she naturally has her own judgment in her heart.

You have to know that sometimes being in an advantageous position temporarily does not mean that you will win in the end; only the one who laughs last is the real winner.

The relationship between the aristocratic families and the supreme imperial power is also like this - who dares to assert that the aristocratic families can always be above the imperial power? Humph! It's just a foolish dream!

If the Wen family really gets away with it unscathed from this incident, then all her plans would have been in vain.

She invested so much money, arranged so many people, and did everything one thing after another, not just for the Wen family to make a small splash.

"Lai Qian'er, you said that these people are evil-minded and arrogant. Do they really think that no one can deal with these so-called noble families?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little angry.

[Host, don't be too angry. This kind of thing will happen whenever there are people. It's normal. This is how society works. It's just the dispersion, transfer, and concentration of power. There are no exceptions.]

"You see it very clearly."

Lan Wangshu certainly understood this truth, but as the saying goes, people always understand all the truths, but it is still difficult for them to live a good life.

At this time, Hua Qiming stood up and looked at the Wen family's housekeeper with admiration in his eyes.

"What the housekeeper said really makes me feel very relieved! The Wen family is indeed a famous family with a history of hundreds of years. It is really admirable that they have such profound insights and cognition. In this way, it saves me a lot of energy. Speaking of which, there is one thing, and it just so happens that I happen to have a witness here, and some government affairs. I wonder if you are interested in knowing the details?"

The housekeeper knew Hua Qiming very well, even though he had never dealt with Hua Qiming. However, he could get a glimpse of him just by looking at the side descriptions and comments of his master on a daily basis.

Hua Qiming is by no means a bluffing person. Instead, he is more like a tiger who is good at disguise and has hidden edge.

His statement must have a purpose, he would not just put the Wen family in the spotlight without any evidence.

At this moment, the housekeeper could no longer hide his panic. After all, he had already said all the polite words. If there was any solid evidence, the situation would be difficult to handle.

"Prime Minister Hua! After careful consideration, I think that the Wen family's hasty coming to ask for someone is really inappropriate. They are too reckless and impulsive. They even dared to offend Lady Guihua. They really deserve to die! Please be magnanimous and forgive us!"

The butler said this in a flattering tone, while leaning forward slightly and bowing deeply in the direction of Lan Wangshu to express his apology and sincerity.

However, Lan Wangshu seemed to be petrified. He did not move at all. He just stared at the old man in front of him who was performing hard, and remained silent.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the butler waited there for a long time, but still did not hear any response from Lan Wangshu. He cursed in his heart, but he was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and stand up by himself.

In fact, Lan Wangshu didn't even need to look to know what this cunning old man was thinking. No matter what, she would never let him get what he wanted today. And this was also the temporary response she came up with when the Wen family came to her house.

Although this may be a bit extreme and risky, it doesn't matter, after all, the ultimate goal is the same. And in this way, the truth of all things can be revealed directly in front of everyone...

"No need. This county lady has not suffered any injustice. She was just scared. I hope the Wen family can show enough sincerity and compensate me for my mental damage. This county lady will not pursue this matter anymore. As for the mental damage compensation, it will be directly included in Zui Fusheng's charity fund. In this way, Zui Fusheng and the Wen family have established a good relationship." Lan Wangshu smiled, as if he didn't take it to heart.

"This..." The butler could not help but hesitate, his lips moving but he could not give a clear answer. His eyes were wandering around, and it was obvious that he was thinking hard about how to deal with it.

If it was other matters, he might be able to make some decisions as a steward, but when it came to reputation and compensation, he really couldn't make a decision easily. After all, it involved a wide range of issues and was extremely complicated.

You know, the Wen family is a huge family, with multiple courtyards and multiple masters. These people cooperate with each other, but also have suspicion and fear. The one who got into trouble this time was the third son of the eldest son, so the situation naturally became more difficult.

The other branches will certainly want the direct line to suffer this loss. By then, the Wen family will inevitably stir up a bloody storm, engage in civil strife, and then put forward a new head of the family.

Then...when the time comes...he, the butler.

The housekeeper was flustered when he thought of this. He closed his eyes tightly, as if this could stop the thoughts in his mind from spreading. However, this was not the case. Those headache-inducing questions still lingered in his mind, making him feel extremely troubled.

Lan Wangshu really knows how to give him a difficult problem! At this moment, the experienced and calm housekeeper couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. However, at the same time, the girl who had been silent all the time seemed to have finally lost her patience. She slowly raised her head, her eyes confused and empty, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her. Then, her eyes fell on her slender fingertips without warning, and she didn't move away for a long time, as if she was thinking about something important.

"What is going on? Could it be that the Wen family can't even show a little bit of sincerity?" Lan Wangshu's voice was still as calm as a lake, but anyone could hear the deep dissatisfaction and anger contained in it. "First, they came to offend me for no reason, not only disrupting Zui Fusheng's normal business, but also wantonly accused me of some non-existent crimes. Now they are reluctant to pay even the slightest price to seek reconciliation. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world!"
